I just disagree whole heartedly with your description of Klay. He is not an "offense-only" type of player, even if he's lost a step or three. 

I don't think he can be our POA defender the level that DJJ was, but he's certainly a passable level defender. And what he brings on the offensive end more than makes up for his defensive deficiencies.

Passable defender is the same way we describe Luka and Kyrie. There is no data that suggests he is a plus defender and he is clearly a significant drop off from DJJ.  Going with a starting lineup without a POA defender is clearly a shift in focus.
